35.1.2 Some Changes May Not Get Synchronized Due to Race Condition in Heavily-Loaded Source Directory

If the source directory is heavily-loaded, a race condition may occur where database commits cannot keep pace with updates to the lastchangenumber. If this race condition occurs, Oracle Directory Integration Platform may not be able to synchronize some of the changes.

To work around this issue, perform the following steps to enable database commits to keep pace with the lastchangenumber:

Increase the value of the synchronization profile's Scheduling Interval.

Control the number of times the search is performed on the source directory during a synchronization cycle by setting the searchDeltaSize parameter in the profile. Oracle suggests starting with a value of 10, then adjusting the value as needed.

LDAP JNDI filter processing has been updated to be stricter in JDK 1.6 u21. Consequently, certain queries performed by Oracle Directory Integration Platform may fail on JDK 1.6 u21 and provisioning profile functionality may also be affected. To fix this issue, download and apply patch 10631569, which is available for download on My Oracle Support (formerly MetaLink). Access My Oracle Support at https://support.oracle.com.

35.2.1 Do Not Use localhost as Oracle Internet Directory Hostname When Configuring Oracle Directory Integration Platform

When configuring Oracle Directory Integration Platform against an existing Oracle Internet Directory—using either the installer's Install and Configure installation option or the Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Configuration Wizard—you must specify the hostname for Oracle Internet Directory using only its fully qualified domain name (such as myhost.example.com). Do not use localhost as the Oracle Internet Directory hostname even if Oracle Directory Integration Platform and Oracle Internet Directory are collocated on the same host.

If you use localhost as the Oracle Internet Directory hostname, you will not be able to start the Oracle WebLogic Managed Server hosting Oracle Directory Integration Platform.
